I also go back through my notebooks full of ideas to help me get through. But the best way I found is to just push through and write.(less)

“The difference between a boss and a leader: a boss says, 'Go!' – a leader says, 'Let's go!”
E.M. Kelly

“TownSlice was a huge restaurant. One side is a bar and lounge. The other is sit down dining. Then, on the backside, there was a large takeout area. High school students getting their feet wet in the workforce mostly staffed this side.”
E.M. Kelly, Murder By Symbols

“You’re getting an accommodation for the drug bust in Stoughton,” the Director said. “And once the killer’s caught, you’ll get another accommodation for that as well.”
E.M. Kelly, Murder By Symbols
